Included in prestigious domestic
and international collections, Robert Charles Dunahay
is best known for his chromatically lush paintings
of palm trees. His large colorful canvases of a single
palm image isolated against a solid color background
have an immediate and definite pop art quality. The
palms are beautifully rendered in fantastic detail
with crisp, confident brushstrokes and saturated
with rich colors. As a result of Dunahay’s
intimate approach and ability to personalize the
subject matter, these paintings feel more like portraits
than landscapes.
